*Bump* them flouros. People .. HPS is the only way to get good smoke.. Read some grow guides. theres alot of info out there about the amount of watts needed to properly grow weed.. ANy one with a damn shop light thinks they can grow good weed nowa dayz .,, if you want good weed you will never get there with flouros.. People quit trying to Cut corners to grow weed ... and saving money , It will repay itself if you spend it .,. and grow that good shit..
I'm just wanting to grow a couple of plants to get some experience before i go and start spending shit loads of money on lights, seeds etc.
you will end up spending twice the amount if you try to get something to just get you by verses spending money one time on the right stuff.. Look a 400w Hps is cheap.. SO go ahead save up for that .. If theres one thing you will learn is Not to Rush anything when it comes to growing good smoke ..So dont rush out and buy some cheap ass light and then figure out in a couple months that you should have saved and got a better light.. Trust me .. Ive been in your shoes and thought the same way . you posted on here for advice from people that have been growing ...so trust that this is the best advice you could ever get regarding your grow op .. LIGHT IS THE KEY>>>>
Ive seen some good grows with flouros Celticweedlovers journal to name 1 but lots of potential growers cannot afford to go buy a 400hps then a fan to extract that heat and 1 to bring in fresh air and what about hidden grows in confined spaces? some of the grower on here need to walk before they can run. hps out preforms flouros big time
to answer your question though .... you would be able to grow maybe 2 plants in the veg stage so say for 4 weeks max but it wont be enough light to produce anything worth smoking when it comes to flowering ... i use shop lights for my clones and seedlings ... but only until theyre strong enough to go under the hps .... hey you want a cheap light ??? look in my sig hahaha
